Historic houses like Goodnestone Park, about 3.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Woolage Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

Roof survey in Woolage Green
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. If you are worried about gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Woolage Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A small roof defect normally gets bigger. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Older and listed buildings around Woolage Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

FAQs for Woolage Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Snowdown station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Is Woolage Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
When to book a survey in Woolage Green
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, particularly near trees.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Margaret, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is VAT included in the price?
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
How we price roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:

Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

- Where water is showing inside, if it is

Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Woolage Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft
